... But hey, in keeping with the vibe of yesterday's game, they might as well have the review panel on their side as well...

Agree with a lot of what you say but this bit is wrong. The umps were bad both ways until your mob "straightened them up" by actually going the biff. Some of your senior players handed the game to Collingwood on a plate, and no amount of complaining changes that.

So accidental head high contact is not grounds for suspension? Tell that to players rubbed out for attempting a spoil and getting the head. And while you are at it, give Chris Grant back his ****ing Brownlow.

You shouldnt talk about Richmond like that......Two weeks time for Tiges - Noosa, Gold Coast, overseas perhaps?????????
 
Re: SEN - Didak Cleared

I don't think he deserved to do time for it.

But if the MRP had shown even a glimmer of consistency he would have got 1-2 on top of his 80 points residual.

Very very lucky bogan is Alan.
 
No objective football fan could be dissapointed with this result. Look past the fact it was Didak and you'll be pleased this action is still allowed in our game.

Nope. Gia on Kosi and Notting on Cara are examples of that.

The difference here is that Didak was trying to impact the player, the others were in a contest for the ball. If you try and fail, then you wear the consequences, that is what usually happens ... usually.

Fevola was done this year for making accidental contact with Kirk's head, he even tried to soften the impact as he realised Kirk wasn't going to get to his feet. The feeling was that he stuffed up his challenge and deserved a week. Didak too stuffed up his challenge. He intended to lay that bump from a long way away (relatively speaking) which gave him no room for error or change in circumstance. Fevola intended to challenge from a long way away also but the match review panel decided that he should have avoided the contact. Kirk was pretty much unhurt in the incident too but they got Fev because he had the potential to cause injury.

It just doesn't add up and on top of Goldspink's grandstanding and retaliators getting done while perpetrators got away with it, it just caps it all off nicely. Bottom teams nearly always get screwed (not just Carlton). I wonder how they are supposed to rise again when they don't have protected species in their sides?
 
Re: SEN - Didak Cleared

I know one thing ... if you were trying to find an unbiased jury to hear Didak's case, you would have to go to another country! and i mean that for and against....

also, can't agree with those saying Pies get a good run off the tribunal.... for good run with tribunal, see Barry Hall and the Eagles bloke in last year's GF.

Having said that I would have been happy with 1 week for Didak, considering what the tribunal's been like this year...
 
What puzzles me is that accidental contact to the head is ok yet attempted striking where there's no contact results in suspension.
Very strange.

If that was a non Collingwood player, it would've been 2 weeks easy.

Are you suggesting that we (and Didak) have a favourable history with the tribunal?

I'm well prepared to argue on this one into the night with plenty of facts if you are.

You weren't at the game yesterday then. It was clearly an elbow thrown no doubt.

Think you better look at it again - moment of contact Dids had his arm tucked in - the elbow went up in natural motion after the bump was made.

Bad both ways? The Sporn free I grant you but not much more. Fev was monstered up forward while Rocca got frees every time someone touched him. The 50/50 went against us all day but the main thing that made me sit up and take notice is that they would let one go for us and then award one merely seconds later against us. Totally killed our momentum all day.

Not of itself. Wakelin got his jaw broken and Caracella got his neck cracked with no one getting weeks. It depends on the circumstances obviously. Nothing new in that.

Its a matter of eliminating malice in the game rather than accidents within the toughness of the game I suppose.

Don't forget Carrecella nearly lost the use of his legs in a genuine attempt to get the hard-ball. Nobody, (including pie fans) thought that Notting should have been rubbed out for the contact.

If its obvious you try to hit somebody and miss, you're in trouble.

Same deal here essentially. Arm, tucked, feet on the ground. Incedental contact.

I saw the incedent live and thought he was in trouble but the arm came up after the contact which was hard to recognise in real time. I agreed with the report and am happy with the result as alot of those things don't go our way- (see GFs of 02/03 and mid-season Tarrant suspensions of 04/05

Not relevant even if true. The question is whether it was a legit bump and whether he meant head high contact or whether the head high contact was negligent or due in part to other events like Scotland bending at the kness or lowering his head immediately before contact. Had he had his head over the ball it would have been 4+ weeks. Thankfully you are still allowed to bump hared as well as soft.

No. I was genuinely suprised this time.

Gia was definitely trying to make impact with Kosi, he was not contesting the ball, he was sheperding. The ball was gone.

The point the MRP have made is that it was Scotland's evasive action that resulted in the head high contact. As such it was an accident.

Barry Hall should not have played in the GF. Grant should have won a brownlow. Goldspink is a twat. All statments of fact, but nothing to do with this argument.
